EDUCATING THE INDIANS.

Annual Report of Superintendent Riley.
of the Indian Schools-Some Timely Sug-
gestions.
WASHINGTON, D. G. October 2z.-From
the annua! report of John B. Riley, superin-
tendent of Indian schools, to the secretary
OF the interior, it appears that the aggregate
expenditure by the government for the edu
cation of Indian children during the year
was 81 ,095 1873 of which $719, 1888 was expen-
ded on account of the government boarding
schools and S13OS, 299 for the support and
education of pupils at contract
boarding schools, most of which are
under control of religious denominations
as the chief items. The whole number of
Indian children between the ages of and IL
years is 1891. Of this number 1882, or
about 371a per cent, attended school some
portion of the year. The proportion of
| children attending school varies widely at
different agencies. Where schools have
been established for several years with &C
commodatlOns for considerable proper
:ion of pupils, the preiudices exhibited by
the Indians against education has largely
disappeared. A uniform system of text
books and study and the teaching of En-
ish only, are recommended. The
report says that too much
9 ress cannot be laid upon the
AAAROA SonOO VI HICpdAAAS udtAVO tCoSAAOAC
and to this end suggests that a normal
school department be established at some of
the large schools. It IS also suggested that
the rudiments, at least, should be taught
Indian children at or near their homes and
that the course of instruction at eastern
schools be adapted to the wants of pupils
who have shown in the reservation
schools special aptitude, and further that
none but graduates of the reservation
schools be permitted to attend eastern
| schools and that such pupils
be selected by the Indian bureau upon GER
LITIGATION of good character and scholarship.
The superintendent makes the following
recommendations: That an industrial
boarding school be established near the
Missouri river adjacent to the Sioux reser-
Walton; that schools be provided for the
tribes in Nevada: that a commission be ap-
pointed and empowered to make thorough
examination on the whole subject of Indian
education. On the whole the report shows
an appreciable advance during the year in
Indian education.

Spelling a Sensation.

New YORK, October PA Washington
sistant counsel for the state in the anarch-
list eases, referring to the sensational reports
published in some of the Few York morning
papers representing Chicago as in great ex-
element over the impending executions and
as taking extraordinary psecautions to pre-
vent an outbreak on November II, says:
"Ihere is no such state of feeling
in Chicago and no su n extraordinary prep
arations have been made. The police are
simply doing what they always do when an
execution is to take place. People are not
moving out of houses near the jail in antici
patton of an outbreak. My Office is as near
as place can we'll be to the place of con.
fino1nent and if bomb was to be found
anywhere one might expect to look for it
there. But I ha 5e not the slightest appre-
hension of anything of the kind"

Riot at a Negro Camplneetins.

CHARLESTON, S. c., October 2S.-The me-
groes of Hampton county have been holding
campmeeting near Brighton, and religious
exercises have been going on all week amid
the greatest religious excitement. On
Thursday night barrel of whisky was
brought on the grounds and drinking be-
came general. The meeting was soon turned
into scene of confusion. When the preach
er attempted to enforce order a free fight
ensued, in which razors, pistols and
pine poles were used. Blood flowed in
streams and as the lights were extinguished
foe could not be distinguished from friend.
When peace and order " ere restored it was
found that Jacob jackson, an elder in the
church. was killed by pistol ball in the
head and that six others were so badly
wounded by cuts in various parts of the
body that death will result. About twenty
five persons we're badly bruised in the
fight. The camp meeting adjourned with
out ceremony.

AN ANARCHIST ALARM.

A Probable Plot to Blow up tho Chicago
Jail Partially Frustrated.
CHICAGO, October 29.-An evening paper
says there is al anarchistic plot to break or
blow up the Jail. The police think not, but
extraordinary precautions are being taken
to crush it in its inception and one arrest
has already been made and there are likely
to be more arrests made tonight. The per-
son arrested is boy who was seen lettering
about the Jail last Thursday, in company
with man. When the couple found they
were being watched they attempted to run
away. The boy was captured but the man
escaped. The police, in searching the boy,
discovered several papers giving descrip-
ton of the Jail. he police are now endeav-
oring to find the man who escaped and are
preserving the utmost secrecy in the matter.

LIFE OR DEATH.
The Fate of the Anarchists Tremblior in
the Balance.

The Fate of the Anarchists Trembling in
! the Balance.
WASHINGTON, d. c., October 27.-The an
ticipation of the argument before the United
States supreme to-day upon the petition for
writ of error in the Chicago anarchists
case attracted to the capitol crowd of ca
ger people, who Sc emed as anxious to gain
admission to the &C urt room rs if the an.
| archists themselves were to be present in
| chains and leg letters to argue their own
case in person. Mere than an hour before
the court assembled, the court room was
densely packed with people, who not only
occupied the seats provided for the specta-
tors, but encroached upon the precincts of
the bar and stood in closely packed throngs
In the open spaces on each side of the door.
Even out in the corridor there was a crowd
endeavoring to at least get glimpse of the
interior OF the cours room through the en-
trance. The audience was destined, howev-
er, to be at least for time 6isappointed.
When court was called to order at II O'Clock
and candidates for admission to the bar had
been sworn, the chief Justice announced that
court would proceed with the unfinished
business of yesterday. This unfinished
business was the case from Louisiana, which.
however important to the litigants, had very
little popular interest.
Argument in the Louisiana case was con-
Guided by Mr.. Beckwith at LOS, and the
chief justice said:
eve are ready now to hear the motion for
a writ of error in the case of Spies and
Others"
General B. F. Butler asked the court how
much time would be allowed for argument.
Mr.. Tucker represented, he said, a majority
of the petitioners. He represented two of
them, whose cases were in some respects
different from those of others.
The chief justice said that each side would
be allowed three hours, and that Mr.. Grin
nell might speak.
The attorney general of Illinois will con-
clude his argument for the state tomorrow
and will be followed by General Butler in
behalf of the petitioners and particularly of
Fielden and Spies. Mr.. Grinnell will prob
ably make the closing argument in opposi-
ton to The motion for writ of erro: and
the court will then take the case under adj
ViSement.

Wholesale Murder.

VIENNA, Oct. 2s.-It has just been discov-
cred that ferryman on the lower Danube,
who has been in the habit of conveying
across the river workmen returning from
Roumania, who took this route to avoid pro-
ducing certificates that they paid taxes in
Roumania or money in default thereof, had
taken them to a small island where he muir
dered and robbed them of their savings.
Judicial inquiry reveals the astounding
fact that hundreds of workmen have been
dispatched by the fend and their bodies
buried or thrown into reeds along the river
banks.

CHASTITY Freight.

ELM1BA, N. Y, Nctober GA box OF
bones, which proved upon examination to
be the skele on of a woman, was found on a
Lehigh Valley train this morning.
Conductor Raymond says he stopped
his train Just outside the city limits
then. When next he went over his train at
Waverly, he found it, and he concludes from
this that the CHASTITY freight must have been
put on board at Elmira. The bones are
all disjointed and the top of
the skull is sawed evenly off.
The skeleton, though not much decay d,
has the appearance of having laid in the
earth for some time. There are no marks
on the box which give any clue as to where
it came from. The general opinion here is
that the skeleton came from some doctors
office or medical institution.

Thobes Files His Papers in Accordance
with Law.
WASHINGTON, d. c., October 29.-To-day
General j. Hale Sypher, attorney for Geo.
b. Thobe, contestant against Hon. Jno. q.
Carlisle for seat in the fiftieth congress,
fled sixty copies of his brief with the clerk
of the house as required by law. The brief
asserts that Thobe was elected by six hun
dred majority. This result is found by re-
jecting about 1000 votes cast for Carlisle
and about 200 votes cast for Thobe, which
were poled at !precincts where it is claimed
the laws of Kentucky were not observed.
The brief cetes congressional precedants
from 1871 to prove that congress maintained
this view of the law of elections. It also
quotes the answer to contestants notice
which had to be fatal to his title of the seat.

rejecting the lists of selections made by the

about 5000 acres of land in Washington
Territory, on the ground that the lands in
question were not included in the grant to
that company under the joint resolution of
congress of 1870. The acting secretary
holds that the lands in question hal been
included in prior grant to the Oregon Gen.
trail railway company, which grant was for
feited by the act of January 81, 1886, and
that they now form part of the public do
